My coworker can't get insurance because he smokes and because years ago he had cancer in mouth. Now he has lung cancer, completely unrelated to his first bout with cancer, but related to his smoking. Despite the fact that he only has one lung he continues to smoke. Our management wants the employees to contribute time/money to a fundraiser to earn money for a surgery he needs on his remaining lung. I'm conflicted. I don't want to judge the guy, expecially because he has faced cancer twice, but it seems like a waste of time/money considering he won't stop smoking to save his own life. Is it horrible of me to not want to donate money (being a student working her way through college)? I'd still be willing to donate my time.
